Hiking Around Philly

October 21, 2010 6:45 PM - 11 attended

Thursday Twilight Hike & Baseball/Jazz

Selected By: Sidney G

We head out for a 1-1.5 hour hike in the Chestnut Hill Wissahickon area. Afterwards join us for some company, (the baseball game) music, and/or food and drink at my abode. Can only comfortably handle about 10 folks. Bring food and drink to share if you want to come over. Suggestions: wine, cheese, veggies, fruit, pretzels. There's a nice market and a wine store nearby. Empty handers chip in $4.

The Chestnut Hill and Wissahickon areas are about as beautiful places as you would want to visit. And you don't need to travel to Colorado or Montana or Maine. Twilight hikes turning into night hike now. On clear nights we will be in areas dark enough to see stars - no milky way.

Needless to say, we will go a different route each hike.

We meet in the lobby at Hill House (201 W Evergreen, 19118).

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike (and sometimes bicycle) off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike.

And, we do a lot more than hike; we explore. Whether it be a trail in a park or a back alley in the city, we always look for neat things, and we find them. Did you notice the 25 foot dinosaur made from pink suntan lotion bottles? We take time to appreciate a beautiful tree, a low flying eagle, or a hickory horned devil (look it up). We visit museums, historic houses, bakeries, battleships, and other neat places. We appreciate architecture, sculptures (Philly has more than any other US city, yea!), or whatever we find near our path. After a hike we often eat at a special place. And, we rarely repeat ourselves.

Fearless lost explorers and sidney (fleas) are curious. This group is not for people content to only go down one trail and up another, nor for people happy to take the same or beaten path. This group may also be different because only one person leads hikes, gets folks lost, and does the bulk of administrative work. So, please read on to make sure you want to be a proud flea.
